Careers
There are a number of ways to access speech therapy or a speech and language therapist (SLT), depending on whether you are looking for an NHS or a private (independent) SLT.
Back to Speech and language therapy
Nhs referral, private (independent) slts.
To access speech and language therapy services through the NHS, ask your GP, district nurse, health visitor, your childâs nursery staff or teacher for a referral.
You can also refer yourself to your local speech and language therapy service. Ring your local NHS service and ask for the telephone number of your local NHS speech and language therapy service.
You do not have to wait for someone else to refer you.
You can also find the number of your local NHS service online or ask at your GP surgery.
This varies across the UK because services are organised in different ways. In some places, demand for services is very high.
Some areas run a system where first referrals are sorted before appointments are made.
If you have this system in your area, a speech and language therapist or assistant may telephone you first to find out more about your situation. At this stage, you can ask what will happen next and how long you may have to wait for an appointment.
If you think you have been asked to wait too long for a first appointment or for treatment after the first appointment, contact the speech and language therapy department to ask what has happened.
If you still experience difficulty, contact your local NHS service to discuss the situation.
Independent speech and language therapists can usually offer an immediate appointment for assessment followed by therapy to suit the client. You can find private SLTs through the Association of Speech therapists in Independent Practice (ASLTIP).
Visit the ASLTIP website to search for a local SLT by postcode, age range, languages spoken and conditions treated.
Some independent therapists offer specialisation in specific areas of communication difficulties, including:

Last week, we started discussing some of the basics of speech therapy, including why your child might benefit from it. This week, weâll continue the four-part series, covering questions such as âHow do I find a speech therapist?â âHow do I do at-home speech therapy?â and âJust what the heck does a speech therapist do, anyway?!?â Whether your child has recently received a diagnosis or you suspect that he might have a speech and language issue (or you just want to brush up on the basics), check out these introductory guides. Then, head over to the comprehensive resources Speech Buddies offers on specific speech issues.
What Can Speech Therapy Accomplish?
As we discussed in last Fridayâs post , speech therapy can accomplish a wide range of objectives for your child. Speech-language pathologists (SLPs) help children improve their receptive language skills (the ability to process information) and expressive language skills (the ability to express themselves verbally or nonverbally).
To meet those goals, the SLP might work with the child to build his vocabulary, understand the rules of grammar and how to form proper sentences, and improve his articulation with the use of Speech Buddies and other tools. The specific areas that your childâs SLP will work on and the tools sheâll use will depend on your childâs specific needs. No two children are alike. Johnny might need help pronouncing his âsâ sounds, for example, while Micah has trouble organizing information and following multistep directions. Your childâs SLP will evaluate your youngster, determine his needs, and formulate a customized treatment plan that can help him.

How Can I Find a Speech Therapist?
Depending on where you live, you likely have many options for finding a speech therapist. (Rural areas often do not have as many ASHA-certified SLPs , but even if this is the case, you may still be able to access a highly qualified speech therapist via telepractice. ) For starters, you may need to decide between public or private speech therapy.
Public speech therapy refers to free speech therapy services that are offered by your school district. Public schools are federally required to provide all children with a free, appropriate public education, and if your child is found eligible for services, he can receive speech therapy in this manner. If your child is not found eligible for free services, you can enroll him in treatment with a private speech therapist who works out of a hospital, clinic, or private practice. (You might also combine public and private speech therapy if youâre less than satisfied with the extent of the services offered at the school.)

How Can I Find the Right Speech Therapist for My Child?
Finding a speech therapist is typically not a simple matter of finding a name in a phone book and scheduling treatment sessions. You need to make sure that she is the right SLP for your child. Think of the process as being similar to job interviews. Some candidates are a great fit for the position, while others offer a skill set and experience level that just donât quite fit. Meet with several SLPs, with and without your child, and observe how your child interacts with the SLP (and vice versa). Your child should feel comfortable around his SLP, or he might not put much effort into the speech therapy. Here are some factors to consider and questions to ask:

About speech and language pathology.
The Speech-Language Pathology team provides services to NIH patients with oral motor, speech, language, voice, cognitive, and swallowing language and other cognitive impairments. Goals are directed towards optimizing function and enhancing quality of life.
Clinical tests are performed to assess the effects of patients' impairments on functional communication or swallowing in order to determine the best course of clinical management and effect positive outcomes. Specialized studies are conducted to objectively assess physiological function of the oropharynx, and to assess and treat language and communicative discourse abilities in neurologically impaired populations. Infants and children with various genetic or developmental conditions are assessed to establish accurate diagnosis and to provide clinical recommendations to local programs.
Staff members serve in both collaborative and independent clinical research capacities. Research is conducted in swallowing, voice and language and discourse functions. Research studies use brain mapping procedures, on-line cognitive measures and video-fluoroscopic imaging along with computerized voice analysis and stroboscopy to assist in understanding changes caused by medical, neurological or genetic conditions.
